Your favourite song by If I could ask Paul Simon and / or Art Garfunkel one thing and one thing only, it would be "hey, what is up with that horny horse on Seventh Avenue?"

Meatus McPrepuce
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offerings
Just a come-on from the horse on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there....

That's kind of messed up and raises some real questions in my mind:
  • How did this horse get to Seventh Avenue? Is it an unattended horse or is it one of those horse-drawn taxi things you see around town?
  • This must have been one sexy horse if Paul Simon and / or Art Garfunkel thought it was coming on to them. I'm pretty sure it was just standing there being a horse and they completely misread things.
  • I'd have to be pretty darn lonesome before horses entered consideration for me. I think these guys needed psychological help.
What do you think? What would you ask them about this or any other song of theirs, given the chance? Sound off in the comments below!
 
If you don’t believe horses get horny for people, take a trip to Tijuana. Perhaps, the meaning of the words are not meant to be taken literally. It could be a reference to a person who was hung like a horse.

The lyrics from Karn Evil 9, ELP album, “Brain Salad Surgery,” are a bit more vulgar.

…..Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule keep it cool, keep it cool……

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend,
come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along
Come inside, the shows about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth
You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, its rock and roll, oh
Right before your eyes see the laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies
Come inside, the shows about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, its rock and roll, oh
Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of Vaseline
Will perform on guillotine, what a scene, what a scene
Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand?
To Alexander's Ragtime Band, Dixieland, Dixieland
Roll up, roll up, roll up
See the show
Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule keep it cool, keep it cool
We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown
Were exclusively our own, all our own, all our own
Come and see the show, come and see the show
Come and see the show
See the show

There are a lot of rumors floating around a big city. Some claim that horse on 7th Avenue would trade sex for money. Others say the whores on 7th Avenue will take on a horse, for the right price. I say, you can’t blame a working girl for boarding horses as a side business. There must be more than one horse on 7th Avenue if they have a boarding stable.

I heard another rumor that the horse on 7th Avenue, immortalized in the Simon and Garfunkel song, The Boxer, was so exceptionally pretty that it became the inspiration for My Little Pony. I have no idea who could substantiate such a story. Maybe, some mysteries are better left unsolved.
